Your center block is amazing. I think you should do something to really set it off. Maybe just frame it in a nice blue.

Come on girl.....whatcha' waitin' for???? Show us another teaser of your layout!!!
Okay will do another layout soon, have to get the right blue for the borders though. Meanwhile doing Terri´s today have completed sewing on two borders so far then I have the special touch all planned after that. Woo hoo.

A special touch? WOOHOO!! I'm excited!

Elle - your compass is amazing. I (like everyone else) am anxious to see how you lay this out and what it'll look like. It's really summery. The blue remind me of the Greek isles :).

I would maybe add a 1" blue, then white and then another 1" blue. You could do some really beautiful quilting in the white border in between the 2 blue 1" borders. Your compass is absolutely amazing.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!

my 2 cents - I vote blue then a small white. I think a single white border looses the blue balance.

It's gorgeous.

I love the white Elle. Gosh the blocks are all so beautiful. I like CajinQuilter's suggestion, use a blue border around the center block. I like the color Mgshaw used in her quilt. I think the darker blue would look great and not detract in any way.

OR do I edge each block in blue and then sew them together

I would be grateful for your suggestions.

Sounds great Elle...I know you are busy. I can't wait to see what magic you create on Terri's quilt too! I'm just jumping up and down with excitement! :lol:
